The wire made of stainless steel
is mostly used in the balustrade work, fixing tasks, decks and handrails jobs
etc. Due to the heavy duty usage the wire needs to be very strong and long so
that there is no scope of breakage. The wire are made up of 316 marine grade
the quality of wire is very tough and should be strong enough to cope up with
harsh conditions prevalent in Australia. The range of Stainless Steel wires
differ from 1mm to 12mm diameter, the most commonly available diameter is
3.2mm. The 3.2mm diameter is very easily available in the Shane’s Stainless
Steel Store. The wires also have steel strands, the standard strands found in
Stainless steel is 7x7, 1x19, and 7x19. These three different strands have
three different works and are used at different purpose, the 7x7 strand is
partially flexible and are used with the DIY turnbuckle kits, the 7x19 strand
is extremely flexible hence it is used with the DIY turnbuckle kit as well but
the 1x19 strand is not flexible in fact is it quite stiff and tough, it doesn’t
stretch at all hence it is used with the Preswaged wire kits.
Earlier the building industry
used bamboos and wooden sheets and rods but now over the period of time Stainless
steel wire rope and rods has
replaced the bamboos, as they have more longevity and durability. The stainless
steel ropes are now extensively used, they look great and costs lesser than the
bamboos and one can use them more than once. There are many things that one can
do with Stainless steel wire rope that bamboos cannot do.
